1965 Captured NLF Flag

I claim no expertise - in any form - but I'd pop on this one in a hot second.

 

While I know materials differ on original flags, the vast majority of these I've seen with iron-clad provenance are made from that silky / satin cloth.

 

I also like that the star is from, what looks like, cotton.

 

Hard to tell from the pics if the stitches are machine or hand done, but either way a winner in my book.

 

I was holding my breath until I received it today..

That's a great flag! My dad brought one home similar to this one that feels like it's made out of potato sacks and it has a white star instead of a yellow one (must be one of the variations).

Flags made of a light weight cotton were common as well.

 

And that is the problem... a lot of the reproductions are made the same way, often using the same dyes as the originals!

 

This looks good. Thanks for sharing.

I learned these from you Gil, I'm glad I didn't get it wrong. :)
